The drop rate of the book is very high, but it appears low on the statistics due to the fact that it doesn't show for people who already know it.

If you have the ability already, you can trade or mail a crate to another char and let them open it. If they have 100 fishing skill, they should be able to loot the Journal.

I catch this trunk like 18 times a day even though it has a low drop rate. I have gotten money, the journal, bolt of mageweave, 2 of the mana potions along with numerous other things. I love fishing in Stranglehorn Vale because it drops the best items.

Had to fish up 8 of these to get the Weathered Journal.

Also, you CAN get them from schools of fish, but if you're hunting the journal, only fish from "Waterlogged Wreckage", as they almost always drop two Iron Bound Trunks.

I was doing a lil fishing for fun and to collect info for my fishing buddy add on and had the blacksmithing (plans: golden iron destroyer) drop from one of the iron bound trunks I fished up. I didn't see it in the loot list and just wanted to let ya know.(about 30 minutes later)(edit) I just had some level 31 cloth shoulders drop from the trunk as well... (conjuror's mantle of intellect)

These trunks to have a pretty good droprate from schools, i seem to get ATLEAST 1 lockbox off every 2 schools, Infact, in 1 school i had THREE of these baby's.

Can anyone confirm that it/other trunks has a Higher drop rate from schools?

Comentario de MrCoffeedk

In patch 4.0.3 the "drop" rate in schools are alot higher..Only a guess but, around 50% of the catch i got in kalimdor is one of these, and the journal too..

So i guess they made it easier to get one of those or just harder to get the fish u want from the school.. :)

Post-Cataclysm: Finally found one in Desolace. - There are a number of small ponds around Mannorok Coven in the southern part of Desolace. The wreckage pools appear in these ponds. - You may have to fish other types of fish pools in order for these wreckage pools to start appearing.

- Do not be discouraged by people posting high drop rates or "found on first try". The droprate may be a bit higher these days, but it is still random and you will need to be persistant. - Turning up graphic settings, especially for liquid detail, may help in visually finding the pools.

I can confirm that these still hold the Weather-beaten Journal, fished one up from a Mixed Ocean School in Northern Stranglethorn today. Guess I was lucky, my first set of casts was in a Debris-school and got me nothing but Stranglekelp, then from the second school's last cast I got the Trunk, and with it the Journal.

Happy fishing everyone!

Just a reminder for those of you new to fishing: don't get too hung up on hoping to find pools of wreckage to fish. Regardless of your fishing level - I went at it most recently at a 740+ skill level - wreckage is equally likely to give you Stranglekelp or Rumsy Rum. Doesn't matter if you cast 20 times to make your hook hit dead center. You've got a 66% chance of getting useless crap from that strike.

But if you've got a thing for wreckage, maybe for the achieve or something, just remember the rule when it comes to making things spawn (and not just pools, either):

Fish Every Node.

The way the spawn routine works, if you limit yourself to only fishing wreckage, then you're just gimping your drop rate since what is a pool of wreckage on one "clear" is going to be a regular pool of fish on the next. The way you make room for the node you want is to harvest the node that's currently preventing it from being rolled up by the game.

Anyway, on last night's run, wreckage only accounted for about 25% of my trunks. The rest came from boring old Sagefish pools. I pulled up 60 in somewhere between 2 to 3 hours. Your mileage may vary.

Now get out there and fish up some trunks.

Comentario de Zharaella

At lvl 60 I tried my luck fishing up some of these hoping to get the leather from them for my Blacksmithing since I don't have skinning. I got 6 trunks but all of them only yielded 1-2 silver and nothing else, no cloth or potions or anything listed that they are supposed to contain. I am curious to know if anyone else has had the same experience since patch 7.2 and if they are somehow bugged.
